Re: C4 Brake Ducting, part deux (gcrouse)

On my '89 I removed the turn/driving light assys, cut the lenses off in front of the driving lights, removed the driving light bulbs and reflectors, and cut a big hole (almost 3") in the back of the...

Re: Wilwood SL6R caliper 7420 pad and spacers?????????????????????? (John Shiels)

Ordered them with Thermlock pistons and therefore have no 'before and after' comparison. I wanted every advantage I could get and saw no reason not to get them.

Re: Wilwood SL6R caliper 7420 pad and spacers?????????????????????? (John Shiels)

You mean the Brake Pad Thermal Heat Shield, #CR-PAD SHLD-L 3"x6" shields? Nope, no idea what you're talking about...... :D

Yup, used those too. Now that I've upgraded to a full blown 4-wheel...

Re: Wilwood SL6R caliper 7420 pad and spacers?????????????????????? (John Shiels)

I had some Ti spacers made for some Alcon calipers I was using once. As hrocks mentioned, I think waterjet cutting would be a good idea. The company that made mine sheared them from sheet stock and...

Re: Bigger master cylinder???????????????????? (mvitacco)

No, what I'm saying is that the 1.02" bore IS what DRM supplied with their kit (Camaro MC). My original was .920".

I'm not going to disassemble the MC just to look inside, nor am I willing to...

Re: Bigger master cylinder???????????????????? (h rocks)

Actually, the dark grey one also has the fittings on the wrong side for a C4 (at least for an '89, don't know for sure about other years). Maybe the MC pictured is just be for a C5. :rolleyes:

Re: Bigger master cylinder???????????????????? (h rocks)

I don't mind removing the master to 'bench bleed' it. I've pushed almost half a liter of fluid through the system, first with the F/R tubing nuts a bit loose at the master cylinder, to push the air...

C5stein, what's involved in "bench bleeding" the master cylinder? Is the technique the same for all types of late model GM master cylinders? :crazy:

Re: How/where to tie down a C4 for transport? (Bill Dearborn)

Thanks Bill. I've seen the rear factory tie down 'slots' but unfortuantely they're somewhat obstructed by my rear brake air ducts. I'll wait to see if there are other ideas for the rear. I suppose...
